xi, 207 p. : figs., index ; 23 cm. Survey of more than 100,000 consumers reveals how they want to be treated, and the way they want to buy. What do customers really want? Not all retailers are in the habit of listening when customers talk. They can do better, according to master customer service speaker, author, and consultant T. Scott Gross. In fact, research shows that unhappy customers talk about negative experiences for an average of 18 months. Once they have a bad experience, it will take 12 positive experiences to make up for it. However, if a complaint is resolved, count on an intensely loyal customer. Written in an engaging style, and backed by statistical research, When Customers Talk helps retailers: * Bridge the disconnect between retailers’ and customers’ attitudes. * Ask the right questions to get answers that will make a difference. * Turn the knowledge of customers’ habits into sales. * Leverage customers’ loyalty for a lifetime relationship: heart, mind, and wallet. * Understand pricing and discounting to maximize profits. * Tap into technology to avoid being blindsided by changes.
